Alexei Starovoitov e9f02a8027 Merge branch 'trampoline-fixes'
Jiri Olsa says:

====================
hi,
sending 2 fixes to fix kernel support for loading
trampoline programs in bcc/bpftrace and allow to
unwind through trampoline/dispatcher.

Original rfc post [1].

Speedup output of perf bench while running klockstat.py
on kprobes vs trampolines:

    Without:
            $ perf bench sched messaging -l 50000
            ...
                 Total time: 18.571 [sec]

    With current kprobe tracing:
            $ perf bench sched messaging -l 50000
            ...
                 Total time: 183.395 [sec]

    With kfunc tracing:
            $ perf bench sched messaging -l 50000
            ...
                 Total time: 39.773 [sec]

v4 changes:
  - rebased on latest bpf-next/master
  - removed image tree mutex and use trampoline_mutex instead
  - checking directly for string pointer in patch 1 [Alexei]
  - skipped helpers patches, as they are no longer needed [Alexei]

v3 changes:
  - added ack from John Fastabend for patch 1
  - move out is_bpf_image_address from is_bpf_text_address call [David]

v2 changes:
  - make the unwind work for dispatcher as well
  - added test for allowed trampolines count
  - used raw tp pt_regs nest-arrays for trampoline helpers

thanks,
jirka

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
